De la aljama a la corte: aproximación biográfica del médico converso valenciano Pere Pintor (<em>ca</em>. 1423-1508)
2019
This paper deals with the biography of the doctor from Valencia Pere Pintor, a member of a family of Valencian Jewish conversos. He was a doctor who, after training at the Estudi General in Lleida, worked for nearly thirty years in the city of Valencia, in the service of the municipal council, numerous noblemen, and the royal household. As a doctor, he became very successful and well known, and he amassed great wealth in parallel to his social advancement. All this was placed in jeopardy with the establishment, in 1481, of the court of the Holy Inquisition in the kingdom of Valencia, which fiercely attacked and repressed Pintor and his family. As a result of this he left Valencia and moved …

Rewriting antiquity, renewing Rome. The Identity of the Eternal City through Visual Art, Monumental Inscriptions and the Mirabilia
2011
AbstractDuring the eleventh and twelfth centuries the Church began a process of renovation (renovatio) and the city of Rome was given new meanings. Antiquity is part of the identity of the Eternal City; the reuse or reframing of aspects of antiquity inevitably transformed the image of Rome. Public spaces, architecture and objects were given new Christian readings. Inscriptions, present both in sacred and secular settings, played an important role. A similar rewriting can also be found in travel literature and descriptions of the city, such as in the Mirabilia urbis Rome, where ancient monuments were re-interpreted to demonstrate the superiority of Christianity. Inscriptions were used as sym…
Salomó Saporta: un mercader judío ante la Inquisición valenciana
2017
La persecución inquisitorial contra los judíos no ha sido un tema abordado sistemáticamente por la historiografía, porque las investigaciones sobre la represión de los tribunales inquisitoriales en el tránsito entre los siglos XV y XVI se han centrado en el grupo judeoconverso. Y si bien es cierto que la Inquisición moderna utilizó algunos procesamientos a hebreos de manera ejemplarizante para resaltar el peligro que representaban para la comunidad cristiana, y que han sido recogidos posteriormente por los investigadores, el caso de Salomó Saporta ha sido estudiado y comentado como un caso aislado. Por esa razón quizás sea el momento de plantear la necesidad de estudiar los mecanismos coerc…

La llamada inscripción de Adoniram y el cementerio judío de Sagunto
1995
At the end of the 15th century a Hebrew inscription on a gravestone found in Sagunto, having been wrongly read, was attributed to Adoniram, a tax collector of Solomon. The discovery aroused a long and excited discussion; many scholars denied its authenticity affirming that it was a literary fiction. But a wrong reading does not imply an epigraphic forgery. In this article the author brings new manuscript sources which confirm the authenticity of the find and show which was the place of the Jewish cemetery in Sagunto. He also tries to reconstruct the original text of the inscription. A finales del siglo XV se encontró en Sagunto una inscripción hebrea sobre una lápida que, por una lectura er…
“They Stood like Men”: Horses, Myth, and Carnophallogocentrism in Toni Morrison’s Home
2021
Abstract Toni Morrison’s fiction has frequently attracted critical attention on account of her strategic use of myth (whether classical or Afrocentric) and symbols. This paper examines the role that horses have, as rhetorical constructs, in strengthening the mythical and symbolic unity of her tenth novel Home (2012). Horses have figured widely in the articulation of African American history and letters, often serving as symbols of the abused slaves upon whose bodies the equipment and instruments of oppression and bondage were violently placed. Within Morrison’s cornucopia of animal imagery, their presence is essential for an understanding of the rituals that are so much a part of the novel’…
INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION. ANNA BĒRZKALNE<br>MEDNARODNO SODELOVANJE. ANNA BĒRZKALNE</br>
2011
Cooperation among professional folklore researchers is a considerable issue for the history of the discipline. In the 1920s and 1930s, the most noteworthy Latvian partner in the then existing international collaboration network was Anna Bērzkalne (1891–1956). She was a representative of the historic-geographical method in Latvian folkloristics. Anna Bērzkalne was very enthusiastic about providing Latvian folklore materials to researchers abroad. She in return also received support to her studies and research. *** Sodelovanje med poklicnimi raziskovalci folklore je pomembno vprasanje v zgodovini discipline. V 20. in 30. letih 20. stoletja je bila v Latviji v mednarodnih stikih najopaznejsa A…
